These Stacks include everything you need to run any Java application on top of Apache Tomcat or JBoss. They are available as native installers, for running on locally on your machine, as virtual machine images, for running in a virtual environment, and as AMIs, for running on the Amazon Cloud. As with all BitNami Stacks, these new Java Stacks are free of charge and ready-to-run. The installers are completely self-contained and run independently of the rest of the software or libraries installed on your system, so they won’t interfere with anything you already have installed.

These Stacks include the following components:

JDK 1.6.0_22

Apache server 2.2.16

Apache Tomcat 6.0.29 or JBoss 6.0.0

MySQL 5.1.50

MySQL connector Java 5.1.12

Apache server is connected through AJP protocol, which improves the server performance. This means that static pages can be served by Apache and dynamic pages can be served Tomcat or JBoss.
